Handmade Air Geiger Counter

Butane gas density and the counter

It investigated how it would be different by the existence of butane gas in a certain sample. It was made to make it filled as much as possible with butane gas.

When there is no butane gas which is prevention gas, there are many counts.
If the existence of radiation is investigated, butane gas is not needed in order to make sensitivity high.
If butane gas is put in, the number of counts will rise rapidly more than from operation voltage 4600V.
From about 4100 to 4600V are stable. This range is suitable for measurement.
It is designed to be set to operation voltage 4232V at Vpp=9.
